The Cartel had some pretty horrid reviews and is currently at "47 out of 100" on metacritic, but then-again £3.75 aint that much and it'll probably activate on Steam too, if that's the kind of thing your're after.

I can't talk about balance with any authority but it's interesting.
It's obviously action rpg meets rts but the cut is a funny one, taking a while to level up before starting your town seems valid enough, but mostly you are trying to learn your way up a tech tree. Sure once you learn it you are better off but I never got that far before the strange mix of overfamiliarity and confusion pushed me away.

Pretty good deals though, grabbed Alan Wake and popped it into Steam. Anybody know if I can pop Blur into Steam/Origin?Wouldn't want that bugger getting lost on the interwebs.

Indeed, some way of finding out which of the games on offer register on steam would be great (I didn't know that any of them would, I'm more interested in getting Alan Wake now). Not entirely a deal breaker but good for convenience's sake.

I know it's not really the place, but it's pretty great that Origin lets you register any game you own elsewhere since 09. Free backups of Mirrors Edge, Sim City (for some reason that works too) and a few others like Dead Space. Even if bought on Steam.

That's nothing - Battle.Net has my copies of Warcraft and Starcraft based on codes from decades ago - and Impulse (Gamestop) has my copy of GalCiv II despuite my selling the physical (CE metal tin) boxed version off EONS ago (wasn't my cuppa so no copyright is harmed by this fillip of digital/real box distribution).

Almost every site which sells a 'Steam Code' will say so - either directly or via a more subtle means such as "Requires third-party download/client" or similar.

Gog is selling <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/space_rangers_2_reboot">Space Rangers 2: Reboot</a> for cheaps the next few days. Been wanting to try that one out for quite some time, but I'm wondering if waiting for the upcoming HD remake is the better option - what with the giant backlog and all...
